This striking and unforgettable feature film debut follows a six-year-old girl in a defiant bayou community cut off from the rest of the world. She believes that the natural world is in balance with the universe—until a fierce storm changes her reality. Our young hero must find the courage to save her ailing father and reinstill a sense of community among the sinking spirits and homes. Fusing recent history with a mythic quality, Beasts of the Southern Wild defies easy classification or description, instead forging a new path that firmly establishes bright new cinematic talents that are not to be missed.
